RE: On behalf of Melissa Montoya

This e-mail was issued in early September regarding conversion of Informix Certification to IBM Certification however that seems to be as far as it got. Has there been any further progress? Is the electronic fulfilment now in place? Can we convert Informix Certificates to IBM, get them reissued, get the new certification pack?
